Office of Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP)

Peer Reviewed Orthopedic Research Program

Clinical Trial Awards support rapid implementation of clinical trials that will have
a significant impact on military combat-related orthopedic injuries;Clinical Trial
Development Awards support planning and preparation for clinical trials that will
have a significant impact on military combat-related orthopedic injuries;Translational
Research Awards support development of multidisciplinary translational research collaboration
between clinicians and laboratory scientists to accelerate movement of promising laboratory
research into clinical applications; Idea Development Awards support conceptually
innovative, high-risk/high-gain research with an emphasis on innovation and military
benefits. Unlike the other three mechanisms, preliminary data are not required and
clinical trials are not allowed.

U.S. Department of Education (2/21/13)

Arts in Education Model Development and Dissemination Grant program(AEMDD)

The AEMDD program supports the enhancement, expansion, documentation, evaluation,
and dissemination of innovative, cohesive models that are based on research and have
demonstrated that they effectively--(1) integrate standards-based arts education into
the core elementary and middle school curriculum; (2) strengthen standards-based arts
instruction in these grades; and (3) improve students' academic performances, including
their skills in creating, performing, and responding to the arts.

Office on Violence Against Women (2/19)

The Campus Program encourages a coordinated community approach that enhances victim
safety and assistance, and supports efforts to hold offenders accountable. The Campus
Program provides seed funding to support activities that develop and strengthen victim
services in cases involving sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and
stalking on campuses. The Campus Program also aims to strengthen security and investigative
strategies to prevent and prosecute these crimes on campuses. Campuses are encouraged
to create or revitalize a large-scale impact by adopting policies and protocols that
treat violence against women crimes as serious offenses, and by developing victim
services and programs that prioritize victim safety, offender accountability, and
prevention.

Research Interests of the Air Force Office of Scientific Research

The focus of AFOSR is on research areas that offer significant and comprehensive benefits
to our national warfighting and peacekeeping capabilities. These areas are organized
and managed in five scientific Departments: Dynamical Systems and Control (RTA), Quantum
and Non- Equilibrium Processes (RTB), Information, Decision and Complex Networks (RTC),
Complex Materials and Devices (RTD), and Energy, Power and Propulsion (RTE).

Dynamical Systems and Control: Seeking research related to future air and space flight.
The department's interests include, but are not limited to: Computational Mathematics,
Dynamics and Control, Flow Interactions and Control, Multi-Scale Structural Mechanics
and Prognosis, Test and Evaluation, and Turbulence and Transition.

Quantum and Non- Equilibrium Processes: Funds will support research into new classes
of quantum phenomena that both creates new knowledge of the physical world and improve
the state-of-the-art for devices that perform sensing, information processing, and
novel concepts for quantum computing.

Information, Decision and Complex Networks: Supports research areas including space
situational awareness, autonomy, and cyber. The programs in the Department include
but are not limited to: Complex Networks, Computational and Machine Intelligence,
Dynamic Data Driven Application Systems and Foundations of Information Systems.

Complex Materials and Devices: This department focuses on meeting the basic research
challenges by leading the discovery and development of fundamental science and engineering
across three integrated research focus areas: Complex Materials and Structures, Complex
Electronics and Fundamental Quantum Processes, and Natural Materials and Systems Research.

Energy, Power and Propulsion: The research supported by this department spans a considerable
set of topics ranging from biological systems to space propulsion, with the following
research emphasis areas: Discovery and Development of Energy Sources or Fundamental
Mechanisms of Energy Transfer.

Deadline: No fixed deadline; proposals are reviewed and evaluated as they are received.

National Endowment for the Humanities (2/7/13)

Preservation Assistance Grants for Smaller Institutions

Preservation Assistance Grants help small and mid-sized institutions—such as libraries,
museums, historical societies, archival repositories, cultural organizations, town
and county records offices, and colleges and universities—improve their ability to
preserve and care for their significant humanities collections. These may include
special collections of books and journals, archives and manuscripts, prints and photographs,
moving images, sound recordings, architectural and cartographic records, decorative
and fine art objects, textiles, archaeological and ethnographic artifacts, furniture,
historical objects, and digital materials.

U.S. Department of Justice (2/6/13)

Research and Evaluation on Violence Against Woman: Teen Dating Violence, Sexual Violence,
and Intimate Partner Violence

The program supports research and evaluation relating to violence against women. The
objectives are to advance knowledge in the areas of: (1) teen dating violence by supporting
projects that inform the field about the context of dating violence among adolescents
and/or the effectiveness of interventions designed to prevent teen dating violence;
(2) sexual violence by supporting projects that develop, test, or adapt measures of
sexual victimization experiences and/or test interventions to improve that initial
criminal justice response to victims of sexual violence; (3) family court and custody
decisions; and/or (4) inquiry in violence against women research.
